Re: Showcenter on Linksys nslu2 - 2008/02/19 09:47I'm getting stuck and I don't know whether it is that the instructions are now a bit old for the current version of Swisscenter or my lack of Linux knowledge. Basically the NSLU is Unslung and I followed the Wiki instructions but when I point to 8080 on the device (served by thttpd) I get a poorly formatted screen showing that some things are not right.
In the section PHP 5.2.5 it says [FAIL_PHP_EXTRA_MODS] [zip] which I gather means the zip module in PHP5. But I do not know what package to install with ipkg to fix this?
It also says [FAIL_PHP_FONTS]
In the Swisscenter section it says
[ROOT_INSTALL_TEXT]. Now in support.log it also complains that Swisscenter appears to have been installed as the "root" user. How do I change this? I did do the chown and chmod on the Swisscenter directory as per the Wiki
[MISSING_PERMS_TEXT] In support.log I get a message saying that the Swisscenter directory does not have r/w permission from the webuser. But I thought that was fixed by the chown nobody stuff? When I do an ls -l on files I see somethings show as nobody root, some nobody nobody and some are nobody everyone for owner id and group id.
[FAIL_SWISS_INI] In support.log I get a message saying unable to access opt/share/www/swisscenter/config/swisscenter.ini but I have manually chmod the protection on that file to 777 and chown to nobody.
So, it looks to be mostly a permissions thing - at least if I can eliminate these errors then I can move forward to see if the other errors in the support.log are relevant.
I did all installation by using Putty/SSH into the box and logging in as root. I did type MySQL and then load swiss and show tables and it looks like there is a database.
Help would be appreciated. Not a Linux expert as you can see but have previously reflashed a Linkstation and installed Slimserver plus plugins successfully (Debian that time) and that uses many of the same components. So not a complete no hoper either.

Re: Showcenter on Linksys nslu2 - 2008/02/19 12:37OK, ignore the Swisscenter errors - these were not permissions but just an error in the path to the Swisscenter directory. I corrected that and it now shows a MySQL error.
The PHP zip and font errors remain
Now I can't connect to the MySQL.

I know MySQL is there as I can invoke it at command level and so it is about accessing MySQL from PHP.
Note that I made the edit in server.php as the Wiki suggests to hard code the server address but the code example they give is for an earlier version and so I had to guess where the change was needed.

Re: Showcenter on Linksys nslu2 - 2008/03/14 09:35Hi,
changing the owner didn't work root@NAS:/> chown nobody:everyone /share/hdd/data/HDD_1_1_1/Filme chown: /share/hdd/data/HDD_1_1_1/Filme: Operation not permitted

Re: Showcenter on Linksys nslu2 - 2008/09/21 12:37Yes, its a permission problem. most daemons run as "nobody" on the nslu2. So you need to make sure this user has proper permissions as well.Swisscenter SVN 1138 on Ubuntu 8.04 Server Intel SS4200 Showcenter 200

Re: Showcenter on Linksys nslu2 - 2008/09/21 16:22@fizze: do you have SC running on your NSLU2 ? Can you help me in getting it to run ?

Re: Showcenter on Linksys nslu2 - 2008/09/22 15:22No, I don't run swisscenter on the NSLU2, because its far too weak to run it, afaik. But I like to be proven wrong
I run swisscenter on my PC, and use WIZD on the slug as media server. It is working fine with my showcenter 200.
You just need to change the permissions to the /Filme subfolder. Check the syntax of chown I think you're missing a trailing slash.Swisscenter SVN 1138 on Ubuntu 8.04 Server Intel SS4200 Showcenter 200
